  • product was defective but it was Amazon second so returned and bought another.
Size: 1.5-Liter
I bought the smallest one, the 1.5L pressure cooker because it's only for me. When I received it I loved the compact size, I believe the base diameter is 6.5 inches. I thought it was perfect size. However, after about 2 weeks the steam regulator valve (steam release) would release steam and get stuck in the open position and all the built up steam would release and the pot became useless. I called customer service and they (there are many number listed on the warranty card and booklet) they are all just distributors. They really have nothing to do with after sales service. Finally I got through to the distributor that sold this particular one and the person that answered referred me to someone else who was not in his office. I asked about the warranty and the person just said they'll have to refer me to the manufacturer. I imagine if this equipment needs servicing it would have to be sent to the manufacturer with insured shipping of some kind and the hassle and cost would probably not be justified. This is a company in India, I'm not sure if there is a US headquarters or not. So for me this is a strike when customer service is not transparent and immediately available. Granted, it's a very sturdy piece of cookware and little can go wrong - except it did. After fiddling with it I realized the problem and it was easily remedied, at least in my case. Inside the weighted release valve, there are 2 small pins that allow the valve to snap into place, what allows these pins to have the spring action is a retainer clip, which is the black band around the weighted valve. If, for some reason this band loses tension or there is some defect in the pins (perhaps it was not rounded off or it is too short), or in my case the band was not flush against the pins, upon release of the steam the valve goes beyond the groove of the steam release vent and almost comes off and will not fall back to the "lock" position. What I did was just slide the retainer ring a little and this remedied the problem. However, I didn't know if further problems may arise so I decided to return it nevertheless. Strike one for iffy customer service. Strike two for quality control in manufacturing. (there were few other reviews with same issue, if I recall) However, I thought it really looked like a very solid well made cookware and I really liked it so I took a chance ordering the next size up 2L (again Amazon warehouse second). Boy did I luck out. It was less expensive than the 1.5 liter and it was basically brand new! I guess it was returned either unused or used once. Needless to say, I am very very happy. Although I loved the compact size of 1.5L after using both 2L is so much more convenient. The greatest advantage to having this larger size (beyond the obvious that you can cook larger quantities), the size of the opening is just so much more roomy. The 1.5L opening is small, not impossible to deal with but when I used the 2L the difference is very noticeable. The access is very roomy. Granted, the larger space inside adds a little more time to building up steam but the larger opening makes getting out the food easier, washing easier and even taking off the cover easier as there is more room to maneuver. I guess I lucked out twice. If anyone asks I'll say the upgrade is very much worth it for the small difference in price. I would also recommend the anodized it is so easy to clean even when you over cook and the food is burnt (oops, yup I did that) the burnt food just came right off with a scrubbing sponge. So to summarize, the unit is sturdy other than the apparent 3 weak links. One is the weighted valve, second is the gasket and the third is the safety release valve. All of which are sold here on Amazon as replacement parts. I guess if anything ever goes wrong, I'll see if one of those are the culprit and replace it on my own. So for this particular unit I give 3 stars for all the hassle I had to go through to understand all the problems with the unit. However, I would give the 2L 4.5 stars (there still is the customer service issue) and would recommend the anodized unit. ... show more

  • No whistle
Size: 1.5-Liter
I never used a pressure cooker before so I started small just so I could make black beans without burning the kitchen down. this pot makes a lot of steam noise no whistling and the beans took quite a long time to cook 1/2 of beans even in the pressure cooker: a good half an hour. also the vent spewed some water spray under the pressure knob (a little disconcerting) also wondering why no whistle. ... show more

  • Compact yet powerful
Size: 4-Liter
This Hawkins pressure cooker is built well and is very durable. The size I bought is perfect for 3-4 people and is great for cooking meat as well as rice. It works great on a glass stove top and does not leak steam.

  • In which I hope to correct a couple of misperceptions I read about in other reviews.
Size: 3-Liter
I don't review much, for which I apologize, but I took a chance on a 3 liter anodized Hawkins stovetop pressure cooker despite a few worrying reviews and remarks in reviews, and after using this to cook family-of-four sized portions of dried giant white beans, chickpeas and french lentils I wanted to circle back and make a couple of points. The most important is the idea, expressed in a couple of reviews, that it is impossible to put the lid on and take the lid off without dunking the lid into your food preparation. Without calling anyone out by name, I strongly suspect that reviewers who had this experience didn't bother to read the instructions. At least the model of cooker I bought is ingeniously designed, with an oval shaped opening. When you hold the lid handle at 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the base handle it is very easy to insert the lid into the pot. I would say at most it needs to dip down three-quarters of an inch into the pot, which won't bring it anywhere near your food unless you have majorly overfilled it. The second "issue" which I read about in at least one review, is the idea that the lid will fall into the food when you go to open the pot. Really, both of these issues stem from the sensible but unusual design of this cooker, which is that the lid, rather than resting on top of the pot as it would in a normal saucepan, fits under the rim of the lid. What this means is that the pressure you build up while cooking doesn't force the lid off the pot; in fact it enhances the seal between the pot and the lid. Intuitively this seems to me a much safer way to cook under pressure. However, it does take a very little bit of getting use to; if you release the lid once you are done cooking, after the pressure has diminished, it will fall into the food if you let go of the handle. Because the lid IS inside the pot. However, all you have to do is keeping holding the handle as you turn it perpendicular to slide it out, using exactly the opposite of the motion you used to put the lid on. It isn't exactly brain surgery. I like to eat beans and grains, but in summer I find chickpeas can take two hours or more to cook on the stovetop even after a good overnight soaking, and having the burner on that long doesn't help with the summer temperatures! I'm now cooking them in this Hawkins cooker in less than fifteen minutes. I can't detect any loss of texture or any other difference in the finished result, and I'm very pleased I bought this for quick smaller pressure-cooker jobs. I have a giant pressure cooker for canning, but there is no way I can be bothered to get it out every time I want to make a little hummus. This is a worthy and useful addition to my kitchen arsenal that is going to continue to get a lot of use. ... show more
